Even though this is not C5 related and this thread might get moved or locked down, I've been there for the last three days. I actually got to the point that I was on stage and was going to bid on a car....but it was sold before I ever got to open my mouth.

I talked to two very pretty ladies at the GM area, about the ZRI. List price is $99,995. The car that will be auctioned - actually the right to purchase the first production ZR1 - will be finished in LeMans Blue. They are not bringing the color back into production - but ZR1 #1 will be the only car painted in that color. This information is what I was told.

The ZR1 is a very cool looking car......

Alot of oddball vehicles across the block yesterday and today... and I kind of lost interest already. It was like watching people that spent thousands of hours putting an engine onto, well, anything they could strap an engine onto.

Lame

Yea, Jesse James has an Ed Roth sense of artistic humor about him.

Wow it's nice to be here. I've been to the auction every day so far and the cars are . I wish I had the money these guys do.

I have to miss today and tomorrow but will be back for the final weekend. Kind of easy living down the street from it though.

Was watching it last night, but when they got $33,000 for a '74 vette with overspray all over it, I couldn't watch anymore.

The ZR1 is item #1316 and will be going on Saturday (it looks like in the evening) 58th from the last car on Saturday. It will be interesting, as the first production Shelby GT500 went for $600,000!

Watched for awhile last night and couldn't believe the cars that were up for sale. Looked like a Manheim auction block in stead of Barrett Jackson's.
